——Transfer TRC20 Tokens Without Holding TRX: A Must-Read for Heavy TRON Network Users
When transferring TRC20 tokens on the TRON network, transactions consume bandwidth and energy resources. By default, each activated account receives 1.5KB of free bandwidth every 24 hours.
For frequent TRON network users, once the free bandwidth is depleted, additional resources must be obtained by burning TRX—significantly increasing transaction costs.
Assure Wallet now allows users to stake TRX to acquire bandwidth and energy. This feature is particularly valuable for those who regularly conduct transactions on TRON, as it substantially reduces transfer expenses.
Step-by-Step Guide to Staking TRX for Bandwidth and Energy
Here’s how to stake TRX for resources when transferring TRC20-USDT:
- On the transfer page, click "Obtain Energy and Bandwidth" to access the resource management section.
Stake (Freeze) TRX:
- Select Bandwidth or Energy under "Resources."
- Choose your address or another recipient under "Receiver."
- Enter the amount of TRX to freeze (minimum 100 TRX recommended). Frozen TRX can be unfrozen after 3 days.
- Click "Next" to complete the staking process.
How Bandwidth and Energy Allocations Are Calculated
- Bandwidth Allocation:
Your Bandwidth = (Your Staked TRX / Total Network Bandwidth Staked TRX) × 43,200,000,000
Users share a fixed bandwidth pool proportionally based on staked TRX. - Energy Allocation:
Your Energy = (Your Staked TRX / Total Network Energy Staked TRX) × 50,000,000,000
Similarly, energy is distributed according to staked TRX ratios.
Understanding Bandwidth and Energy
- Bandwidth: Measures transaction size in bytes. Larger transactions consume more bandwidth. Each account receives 1,500 free bandwidth daily.
- Energy: Calculates computational resources needed for TVM operations (e.g., smart contracts). Every smart contract transaction requires energy.
